The hardest part about starting anything is getting started. As simple as it sounds, it’s still that first step that’s the hardest. No matter the size of the task, if you made up an excuse not to do it today, chances are that you’ll make another excuse not to do it tomorrow either. Worst thing is that often we really want to start, but it just doesn’t happen.

The first step to succes is simply:

Make a commitment to act!

Perhaps you need to learn the rules for playing party poker, or contact someone who might be able to help you with your chosen project? It might be an ongoing commitment, such as training for a marathon event, or planning to read a certain number of books during a given time frame. Whatever you need to do to get started, now is the time to do it.

For the next 30 days, I will write a new blog post every day.”

I will do this. No excuses.

What will you commit to today?
